Self-Care for ADHD Burnout

ADHD burnout is real.
It’s not just being “tired.” It’s mental exhaustion from masking, overthinking, juggling a thousand unfinished tasks, and constantly feeling “behind.”

When your brain runs at 200 mph, burnout hits harder. But self-care isn’t a luxury—it’s survival. Here are gentle reminders:

✨ 1. Rest without guilt.
Burnout recovery isn’t laziness. Your brain needs downtime.

✨ 2. Break tasks smaller.
Don’t aim to finish the whole mountain—just move one small stone.

✨ 3. Dopamine breaks.
Listen to music, stretch, doodle, or switch environments. Small joy = brain fuel.

✨ 4. Say NO.
Protect your energy. Overcommitting = guaranteed crash.

✨ 5. Body care = brain care.
Hydrate, eat real food, move your body. ADHD burnout feels worse when your body is neglected.

✨ 6. Ask for help.
Support isn’t weakness—it’s strategy.

ADHD brains burn out fast because they care, they try, they push beyond limits.
But remember—you are not lazy, you are tired. And tired people need care, not criticism.

💙 Take it slow. Recharge. Heal.
Your spark will come back.

🧡Halloween Play Ideas for Emotional Connection 👻

1️⃣ Dress-Up Together
Let your child pick costumes for both of you! Switching roles builds empathy and confidence.

2️⃣ Monster Feelings Game
Make silly “feelings monsters” with playdough or paper—each one shows a different emotion (happy, scared, mad, excited). Talk about what makes your monsters feel that way!

3️⃣ Candy Sharing Challenge
Sort candy by color or type and practice taking turns and sharing—great for connection and self-regulation. 🍬

Play is where connection grows—and Halloween is the perfect time for a little magic and meaning! 💫

Thanks for sharing Samara Maggard!
